Like the EPL guys...
We talk about our teams in our forums, but this could work to discuss what you think about the other teams during the pre-season.
Barcelona - The same team, minus Larsson plus Gudjohnsen. The team is done, so the positive side is that they know each other perfectly. Even some people said that the WC could have been positive for us, since our stars didn't shine there and they can go back willing to show that they're still the best. My main fear is that the team get relaxed after the success of the last 2 years in all the levels.
Real Madrid - Under construction. Now they have Capello and Calderón will give a pillow to all the socios of the Bernabeu to sleep a siesta during the games, but I think that the team won't collapse this time. I don't know if they'll win or not, I don't care who they bring, whoever they have Capello always build a solid team. Only because of him, I respect them more this year.
Valencia - Carboni is not being very efficient this summer. So far, they just bought Morientes and recovered some of their talented kids that were on loan last year. But I don't think it's enough. If they don't make an effort, I don't think that they can fight for anything... but I guess they'll do it soon.
Osasuna - Aguirre gone. Few signings. I don't see them repeating the success of last year. They'll play the CL, which is always a problem for this kind of teams. They must take care next year.
Sevilla - A solid team, reinforced with some good signings. Maybe they'll lose Alves, but I don't think that the team will collapse because of this, since the key was the team, not the individualities. Besides, with the money they'll get, Del Nido can give a surprise to the sevillistas. Not a team to fight for the title, but I see them in the top positions once more.
Celta - They keep the base of last year. Nothing changes. Let's see if they can repeat the same results too. I'm not that positive, because other direct rivals improved.
Villarreal - The same team plus some good players. Like Sevilla, I don't think they can win La Liga, but they should fight to go back to the CL and maybe for the UEFA Cup title.
Deportivo - Average signings, players leaving... Deportivo isn't Super anymore. Mid table for me.
Getafe - Smart club which follows the same politics, loaning hungry kids from the big teams. They should remain in Primera.
Atlético - Tough question. Important signings... like always. This time they should get to Europe, even fighting for a CL place if the things go right. But you never know with these people.
Zaragoza - They lost Cani, kept the forwards and added some players. Depending on the addition of the signings, we'll see if they can fight for Europe or just stay in the mid table.
Athletic - They should take care. The base is the same, but the institutional unstability won't help at all. But you never know, they're able of the best and the worst. Mid table.
Mallorca - As always, if they save the season, they'd have done a good year. Fighting to avoid relegation, I guess.
Betis - Irureta is an important coach. It should work to start a promising project, although their players aren't very important. They should fight for the UEFA Cup spot though.
Espanyol - New coach. They lose an important player like Lopo. I guess that they'll have to fight to avoid relegation again.
Real Sociedad - They've made a lot of signings that aren't big names and lost important people like Nihat, De Paula and Mark Gonzalez. No money in the bank, but a team with pride and history. To fight for salvation again.
Racing - The same irrelevant team of always. Fight to avoid relegation.
Recreativo - They've loaned some players of Villarreal, but their only goal should be to stay in Primera.
Nàstic - They better sign people, if not their season can be too long.
Levante - They've bought some important people of Segunda and some foreigners in their last years. They'll suffer too.
Still... a long summer and this can change.
